Hello o/

The miner itself as an application, supports only a single account at a time. Furthermore, Twitch has internal mechanisms that may detect a single IP address managing multiple Twitch accounts at the same time, and act accordingly - limiting the lifespan of this project (no actual account bans were ever given out to my knowledge). Doing this on 2 or 3 accounts shouldn't be too big of a deal, but anything more is considered abuse. Also, I don't really support multi-account usage, so you need to figure everything out on your own.

Regardless, all that's needed to run separate instances, is just having separate folders with a miner copy in each.

Could you implement the ability to use a proxy to mine, thus bypassing Twitch's IP detection mechanisms?

Considering idling unlinked games was rejected citing potential abuse: using proxies to idle points at a far clearer case of abuse.

Proxy usage is already supported, although only a basic HTTP one. Everything else in my previous comment here still stands though.
